Yancy Arce Comic Reviews

The way Age of Revelation has altered characters, relationships and landmarks is something reader will be able to appreciate. Alliances have changed; landmarks have been defaced or destroyed.

Jed Mackay brought to life the phrase "the devil you know through this version of Magik. There's a social and political commentary through the citizens of Providence. The decision of serving the demon Darkchild instead of testing their luck in any of the Revelation territories is relatable. As a reader you feel for those civilians trapped in the middle. But this is the brilliance of Jed MacKay in full display. This is an example of the Dilemma fallacy. Darkchild presents herself as the lesser of two evils. As if there were no other choices. However, here's the X-Men, fighting to make a change for good.

Maria Llovet is back doing what she does best, examining romance and dating in a late stage capitalist world. Not just how much dating relies now on apps. But how these apps take advantage of one's wants and needs.

When you see Maria Llovets name in a book, you know what to expect. Plenty of interpersonal drama, complicated relationships and incredible erotic moments between unlikely people. It did not take long for the story to build up to its main conflict. The anticipated malfunction of the android date. Finally, everything must go downhill from here. I for one cant wait to see this trainwreck of a love triangle between 2 humans and an android. 

As advertised, the moment we dread since the original solicitation is here. Even after being aware of the worst case scenario's inevitability. Maria Llovet surpasses the expected by avoiding crossing the line of no return. Rather than dragging the reader through one of the most horrific acts witnessed by human kind, Maria Llovet suddenly deescalates the scene. Just so we the readers can wait in dread and fear with Clara the protagonist. This is not for the faint of heart.

I can understand if people are disappointed with the bait and switch. Maybe you came to the issue to see the heroes go at each other's necks for previous transgressions. After all that's what was advertised. However, I think Jed MacKay was on to something when he allowed these camps to have this moment of fun camaraderie and unwinding.

For reason or another comic book fans seem to be sleeping on this Avengers run. I'm here to wake everyone up to tell them, this is a must read. Jed McKay is writing an acton packed series filled with battles, fun and very human and believeable characters. When you least expect it, a plot thread from 3 arcs ago is picked up with perfect timing.

Just another amazingly structured story arc by Jed MacKay. One thing you can count on from MacKay is previous plots or characters be circled back from his earlier writing on the same run. This writing style is also on display in his X-Men series. Personally, I appreciate seeing characters and plot threads return later down the road to build new arcs. As a reader it makes you circle back to previous issue to see what you missed or how is a character back center stage.

Jed MacKay went above and beyond to create a stagering wedge between the Avengers and the Masters of Evil. As stated by The Thinker, the members of his group were never going to succeed. For being evil is inherently selfish and self-centered. While the Avengers had no seconds thoughts on working together. The Masters of evil stuck to attacking the Avengers individually and that brought their demise. Teamwork will always prevail, plain and simple.

With everything going on in the One World Under Doom event, Jed MacKay managed to give other characters a moment to shine. Wheter it was the new Masters of Evil with the Mad Thinker. Or Captain America and Black Panther. Everyone had an incredible showcase of character and abilities. Also, the return of Black Panther is a big deal. The Avengers have their best tactician back. Finally they might turn the tide on Doctor Doom once and for all.

Jed MacKay is reeling in some aspects of Secret Wars (2015) to make this new story whole. Also, theres the thread he started in Timeless #1 (2022) with the concept of the missing moment. Finally, everything is coming together for the Avengers to stop Myrddin and save the world.

Steve Orlando is writing an excellent team book for Marvel Comics. This issue in particular, contains a powerfull message for displace people around the world. In my opinion, the message is the following; There will always be those groups of people that will resist your presence in your new location. Even more, there will be people to actively fight your very existance in the world. Nonetheless, just like the Avengers fought for those vampires rights, there is also people who will always fight for yours.

I left the Serpent Society plot alone, so I don't spoil the issue entirely. But trust me, those snakes are becoming a bigger problem than anyone could have predicted. Steve Orlando is dragging the AvengE.R.S. all over the place to teach us a new lesson at every single stop. They fight hatred, exploitation, prejudice and discrimination. While they also punch bad guys in the face. Which is exactly what I want from my Avengers.

I am no scholar, but I believe this can be considered Afro-Caribbean Speculative thought. There is a clear re-imagination of a real-life struggle by using Mystical, Legendary elements and incorporating them into the story. With the intent to see a more positive and beneficial outcome for the people of Puerto Rico. Perhaps Anta’s true intention is to deliver us with an analogy that encapsulates the spirit of the Boricuas. Because Puerto Ricans have always been subjected to oppression. Whether it’s environmental, economic, or political. Perhaps Juliana is inviting Puerto Ricans to wake up and fight their oppressors the same way El Chupacabra did here in issue one.

There is no way you will be prepared for whats in store for Blink and Youll Miss it. From the world building to the thrill of time travel in place. There is a clear perception of a well-crafted story.

Ethan S. Parker & Griffin Sheridan have adopted a new approach to time travel. Turning a well-known plot device on its head. What happens when you travel through your own life without control? Or without any knowledge of it? Then, you add a horror mystery element on top to elevate the stakes and the drama. The results? A story so compelling and so intriguing you cant take your eyes away from.

If for some reason it is hard to understand, or I am not making myself clear in this review, I apologize. But I assure you, this is one of those things you will have to experience yourself to fully grasp all the concepts and the themes and the art in this comic book series. The tension, the dread, the mystery you cannot help it, but be captivated by all of it.

I know issue #4 was hinting at the plot twist at the end of this series. But I guess I was so submerged in the sci-fi and the horror that it went completely over my head. I say this in the best way possible. Because this was a multilayered story with a mystery told in reverse. So, props to Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan for their sleight of hand. Blink and you'll miss it is a must read for fans of sci-fi, horror and thrillers.

Despite the bombastic fest that is the plot, some elements somewhat ground this story. Which is not an easy thing to pull off. But lo and behold, here we are. A group of teenagers who haven’t lived long enough have to discover themselves as middle-aged adults. While solving the mystery of the time trap and that one hooded stranger. In short, all sorts of entertainment are thrown at you at once.

This brand new take by Mad Cave Studios does a lot of justice to the lore of the man in yellow, Dick Tracy. Happy to know they beging a new arc in December with issue no.6

The murder mystery takes a back seat to the supernatural elements in this installment. However, the inside structures and power dynamics of the Argyle Hotel are just, if not more, as interesting as the case of Veronica. Randall Hasley is a man on a mission to redeem himself by saving the life of a stranger and preventing her from joining the permanent population of the Argyle Hotel. Do not Disturb is a tale with many twists and turns that keeps you coming back for more.

Luana Vecchio takes, essentially a serial killer in Domino, and huminizes her by flushing out her story in it's entirety. In other words, Madeleine's future is Domino. Despite this known fact, I'm still unable to stop myself from reading how it happened. Even if horror-thriller comics is not for you, I highly recommend you give "Doll Parts: A Lovesick Tale a read.

It is not lost on me the introduction of Pig imagery in the story and in some of the covers. If you've read Lovesick, you'd remember that Domino's subjects/victims are called pigs. Along with the nightmares of men in pig masks that Domino had.

Luana Vecchio has given to us another episode on the train wreck that was Domino's childhood. You know you feel bad for Madeleine, you know what awaits in her future. You just can't look away while it's happening.

Madeleine's story is a cautionary tale on how fragile children's innocence can be distorted and morphed into something dark and unusual. The "Songs of Innocence and of Experience" by William Blake makes a cameo appearance in this issue. Which is a collection of poems that dramatize the naive hopes and fears that inform the lives of children and trace their transformation as the child grows into adulthood.

Rick Remender has matched Inglorious Bastards,Saving Private Ryan, and Enemy Lines. With rugged and nettle-tested anthropomorph characters. The characters are funny, jagged, and rough around the edges.They even displayedindividual qualities and character traits.

Rick Remender manages to add dimensions to the character of Milton Shaw. This story isnt only about war anymore. Now, its about the people, the characters involved in it. Their lives, their hopes, their dreams and how they were halted by this conflict. Remender is peeling back the layers on this story. Effortlessly might I add.

Rick Remender wrote a multilayered tale in this issue. While there are intense scenes with chases and close quarter fights throughout a city. This entire event is narrated from the perspective of Milton Shaw. The way each injury is described by Milton is not only poetic. But the graphic details incorporated by Remender report Milton's plight enable the reader to be submerged into this story. Storytelling at its finest expression.

Rick Remender lays out the realities of war. There are no bad guys, there are no good guys. In the end, there are only winners and losers. Good versus evil is only perspective pushed by those that want to convince their own kinfolk to justify their actions against I perceived enemy. Remainder is not afraid of exposing the realities of War: violence and destruction. In the ideals and in the personal levels. For war can be concepts on a faraway land. While at the same time they can be hand to hand: tight and uncomfortable.

What started as a gritty, action-packed World War II metaphor. It has now become a deconstruction of the concept of war itself. Remender and Acua are teaching us that there are no winners in war or armed conflict, in battle. Especially in the likes and scale, such as this one. Hopefully, one day, we'll learn the lessons being taught to Milton Shaw.

I believe this series was originally solicited for 6 issues. However, Escape has been successful enough to be extended. Hence the one month break between issues 5  and 6. Also the 3 month break between issues 6 and 7. This is to enable Rick Remender to rewrite the plot to be better told in a few more issues. This is always great news for the fans. This was well earned and to my opinion, necessary. Congratulations are in order.

Exploit from Mad Cave Studios is the type of art that pulls peoples heads from the sand.

This current run of Marvel's first family has a specific characteristic that separates it from every other on-going series on the shelves right now. That characteristic is the single issue or at most, two-issue stories. You can pick up any issue from this 20 plus run and you start and finish an adventure by the fantastic four right there and there.

To summarize, I had no clue what this was about. But as a new reader I admit I was pleasantly surprised. The gimmick of the fruit powers sounded silly enough. Until I saw the Flavor Girls invoke their individual powers and put them to use. Actually, it's very cool and they are quite the battle-hardened bunch. Finally, plenty of personal drama spilled under the main plot. Which is exactly the kind of mess that draws readers to return.

Without going into spoilers for Chapter seven, Im confident when that this series is not slowing down. The story between Naoko and her mother was so compelling, I felt very touched by their conflict. But even more so by their resiliency to prevail. In summary, the Flavor Girls are cute and silly fruit themed heroes, that tell stories that will have you in tears. I highly recommend it, E for everyone.

The Flavor Girls: Return to the Mothership proved to be a perfect sequel for it's predecessor. My only problem with the Flavor Girls is that there's not enough people talking about them. A comic book this amazing deserves more credit. I highly encourage everyone to pick this series up. I guarantee you will enjoy it thoroughly.

Al Ewing continues to bounce the All-Father Thor around. It feels to me that, although Thor possesses all the powers available to him, he lacks character. Furthermore, Thor has no agency.

I would've preffered my focus stayed in the murder mystery alone. At least for the begining. Regardless of my petty objection, this is quite the story and quite a world. Makes you wonder about the people who create this sort of works. If this is what they bring to life, what are the horrors that don't make the cut?

Even though the main story did not progressed that much, the backstory of Detective Cole Spears was unbelievable. When Cole said he reffers not to talk about his family, it set the table to the grand reveal at the end. Didn't matter that I knew it was coming, when it hit me, I was left without words.

Michale Conrad just threw another wrinkle into the make up of this world. While I was trying to keep up with everything that's been laid out so far, I found myself taken aback by the latest development. Even though this is, by all intents and purposes, a horror thriller suspenseful story. When you zoom in on the character of Detective Cole Spears, this might as well be considered a tragedy. That's how complex this series really is. Beyond the scary visuals and the chaotic aspect of the state of the world, this is a story of a man fighting for what's left of his humanity.

Aditya Bidikar managed to share the one thing that makes art invaluable: perspective. In his letter at the end of issue #1, he shared some of his thoughts about celebrity culture. Specifically, his view on celebrity culture in Bollywood and the god-like treatment actors got from their fans. Bidikar is bringing together the flair and style of Bollywood films with the body horror genre. Also merged with parasocial relationships in an erotic style of storytelling. As a result, we get a thriller of a comic book series that will have you on the edge of your seat.

We all know this is a cash grab for collectors or the inquisitive casuals. But most of all, this is a sidestep towards silliness and fun! Outside of the messaging and stance by the writers against Artificial IntelligenceI and the ethics of using someone's likeness there's not much regarding canon, lore, continuity, or any of that sort of thing. This is mostly a fun issue for you to enjoy some art with your favorite Marvel heroes sporting their favorite swimming garments.

The story of Thaddeus is an allegory for Publishers. It shows how they bring back creators again and again to continue squeezing whatever they can out of them. However, the story of Monkeagle & Monkey-Girl is a one-for-one metaphor for DC's Batman & Robin.

In another attempt to create fiction from reality, James Tynion IV brings us another tale inspired by real life. The character Adele is actively working the “Gonzo” method of journalism invented by Hunter S. Thompson. Known for infiltrating different subcultures found in the lesser-visited corners of society. To voice our journalist with a female perspective, we have the amazing Marguerite Bennett. Who seeks to explore the inner thoughts of Adele from her delicate and precarious situation. Adele’s attention to detail, social intelligence, and acute observation allowed the reader a very descriptive read on each individual in the story. Which was just a setup to make you feel comfortable before they pulled the rug from underneath.

Once again we get to witness another out of body experience with or through the eyes of Adela. Obviously things escalated rather fast. But if you slow down, you notice this isn’t Fred’s first time in the wilderness. Nor his first time leading a group of malleable individuals. In the end, Adela became the fly in the proverbial wall to witness how desperate people fold under pressure.

Finally, I want to highlight the writing by Mark Bandy. That is another area where Psion excels. There’s real life history poured in this fictional world that makes it all too eerie or familiar, depending on your life experience. If you’ve never heard about this history, Psion is pointing it out for you to do the leg work and learn it. But if you know this is history, it’s just a reminder of how dark life was and can be for some.

This issue slowed down the craziness enough for the story to simmer and allowed the characters to develop more. However, when it's time to escape into lunacy, it pulls you in fast and hard with ease. The art is also very exceptional and matches the pacing of the story. I highly recommend it.

I appreciate that Stephanie Phillips colored the background of a character, so to speak. She's giving these characters multiple dimensions. Adding to their make up of who they are and why we should care about them. It's quite amazing! For example, Leo is not just some crazy rebellious broad turns out. Maybe she is, in some ways.

The enjoyment of Red Before Black has been held back by delays unfortunately. I do believe a single binge read through would elevate the experience of this story. Stephanie Phillips wrote a rollercoaster of a tale. Filled with complicated and problematic characters that will break your heart.

If you consider yourself a fan of comic book art, this is a must-read. Especially because the visual storytelling is rich, layered, and each artist’s style contrasts amazingly well with each other.

I can't believe it took 60 years for the Devil and the Witch to finally team up in a comic book! Shoutout to Steve Orlando! This current era of the Witch it's just perfect! Never seen this character treated with such respect, such dignity and reverence than these last few years. Steve Orlando deserves many praises in my opinion! I highly recommend you get caught up with The Scarlet Witch if you haven't done so yet. You are missing out!

Steve Orlandos portrayal of Wanda Maximoff The Scarlet Witch continues to be my personal favorite, by far. Wanda in this issue is kind, welcoming and empathetic towards Amaranth. The fact that she took Agatha Harkness ward under her wing is proof that Wanda is willing to help anyone. Not just those who come through the Last Door. Finally, the mystery of Amaranth has the possibility to bring a new side of Wanda we dont get to see often. Wanda the mentor. Once again, I highly recommend you get caught up with Steve Orlandos era of the Scarlet Witch.

The artwork in this series has been exceptional. This issue is no different. You have the action scenes well detailed and fluid while at the same time there's moments charged with a lot of judgement, for example (Talking about you Tony Stark), and the tone of the writing perfectly matches the emotions portrayed in the art.

When I read a first issue, my main focus is to find reasons to come back to the story. SIKTC #1 completely sold me on this entire universe in half a comic! I will be looking to get caught up with the story ASAP! Highly recommend you try it out, if you haven't yet, it is definitely worth your time!

In this issue in particular, the range of these artists is on full display. You have incredible tense action between Spider-Woman and Gremlin. It carries a terrifying Terminator vibe. There's fire bending, ice attacks, venom blasts and explosions in full bright colors.

I felt this issue lacked cohesion after my first read through. The crazed woman who attempted against Yoon's life came and went with no reason nor consequence. Maybe this will matter in a future issue. However, I found myself understanding more Yoon's character after a second read. Yes, half the issue seems to go nowhere with the exposition for the additional cases Yoon is working on. But this is just a way for us to get to know to know her through the people she's helping. For example, she helping a known local gang solved a the murder of on of their own. Secondly, she's helping solved the mystery of who murderer a pornstar's pet.

Issue #3 was a solid read. Unfortunately, the story took a sidestep to highlight Litty's character a bit too much. Paul Tobin has gone out of his way to show what an amazing person Litty is. Eventhough she's a pornstar, she is much more than just some adult actress. I get the mesage, truly. People are not monoliths and I welcome multi-dimensional characters. However, the exposition for Litty came at the cost of the main plot's resolution. Or at least the delay of. Despite the aformentioned, I did enjoyed seeing the murderer of an animal get caught.

There's a few details that were clearly rushed in my opinion. For example, the resolution to Mateo's murder case. But I imagine it might be because there's more important things to be flushed out. Or because the series concludes in the next issue. With the reveal we've been waiting for, the black string connected to Yoon. Admittedly that's main plot and the thing I'm more invested in.

As much as I enjoyed the art in this issue and in this series, the conclusion to this arc was poorly written. There is a good, compelling and interesting story here. But it feels rushed or unfinished in certain areas. For example, Finch's reason for going after Yoon is hallow at best. If there were more issues, I'm positive the writer would have explored a more reasonable motive for the antagonist. Maybe Yoon and Mayfield would have more time to thoroughly investigate Finch and seek justice for the nameless victims. Instead, we got Finch blaming and kidnapping Yoon for is brother explosive demise.

Despite a misguided reaction from comic book readers, this is not a knockoff version of "Dark Reign Avengers". Besides, I'm here to dispel those rumors. Because, while I do see why comic book fans might think that. There's no other similarities outside of the assembled group of villains trope. This reads like a another hoax scheme by Doom until the very end.

There will be more that 60 single issues by the time this event concludes. With that being said, I would remiss if I didn't recommend this series to everyone. The entire premise of this series is consequences.

Steve Foxe continues to put out an incredibly underappreciated story. With the future of the entire planet at stake, the Superior Avengers need to be watched a lot more closely. It is unclear what their intentions are as of yet.

I was pleasantly surprised by the plot twist in this issue. Not only Ghost betrayed her teammates, but she has ulterior motivations from them. Also, we finally got origins of some sort for all these characters. The stakes have been increased two fold. I can't wait to see how Steve Foxe is landing this story.

If there ever was a do or die story its this one. The Superior Avengers managed to be one step ahead of almost everyone. Except for the consequences of their own actions. There is a time paradox about to be completed in the next issue. Even after I understand this to be so, I still have no idea how its going to play out. Hence this series a must read.

Steve Foxe managed to subvert expectations of this story. This story was a tie-in to One World Under Doom. Which doesnt necessarily change the course of that event. At least not yet. But it did manage to add another wrinkle to Doom as Sorcerer Supreme and ruler. Eventually, Victor Von Doom abandoned the world in search of more knowledge and purpose.

In conclusion, whether you're a casual fan or a life-long fan of either of these IPs, I highly recommend you check this comic book. It's just that good!

I'm confident when I say the future of comic books is in good hands. Every day there are ambitious up-and-coming creators breaking into the industry. With incredible ideas and remarkable talent to explore storytelling through this medium. Moreover, creators that offer new perspectives to stories we're familiar with. That is exactly the case of The Digger. What if you could see the "Indiana Jones (Paramount Pictures) story from the lens of a local child? This is a must read, it has so much heart and soul poured into every single page. I'm telling you, you don't want to miss out on this!

It doesn’t take much to create a villain. However, T.S. Luther makes an effort to lay a second dimension on The Digger by providing the character with a driving engine and motivations. While the reader gets to read between the lines how insidious and dangerous John Smith can be. On the other hand, The Kid gets to learn the hard way. Amazing story, highly recommend it.

Finally, the writers Gerry Duggan, Robert Windom and Kelvin Mao took some risks with THIS ENDS TONIGHT. However, I believe they hit a home run with issue #1. The story is very captivating and engaging. Thus, it pushes you from one panel to the next, to one page to the next, all the way through almost 40 pages of storytelling. Of course, you might feel disoriented. You might find yourself flipping backwards to see if you missed anything. But this will leave you wanting more. I know, because that's exactly how I felt

The team of Gerry Duggan, Robert Windom and Kelvin Mao delivered another masterpiece back to back. The debut issue was a major splash. Which set the tone for the series. Regardless, issue #2 is just as busy and chaotic as issue #1. I mean that in the most possible best of ways. 

My hat goes off to this creative team. They deserve a standing ovation. If somebody told me they could pull off the combination of all imaginable tropes in a Las Vegas story together, I wouldve squinted my eyes somewhat skeptical. But this proves that talent, creativity and teamwork can meet a challenge head on and conquer it. My only issue with This ends tonight is that it is over. I am starting a petition for vol.2, who's signing it with me?

Initially, this series could be perceived as gratuitously sexy for no reason. Especially when considering what the main plot is about. If you have been paying close attention to the news cycle for the past year or so, you’ll realize the parallels with Tigress Island and another very infamous island that we’re not going to mention here today. However, there’s some depth and complexity in these characters that’s worth exploring. If you’re looking for some ridiculous, sexy ladies to fight back against their captors, in a story where no one is innocent, Tigress Island might be the sort of NSFW content you didn’t know you were looking for.

Finally, we get to know more about Earth-6160s Sorcerer Supreme, Inan. I must admit, I was not ready for this Inans flair for the dramatics. This character will be a nice addition to the cast for contrast. Everyone is so intense and serious all the.

Ultimate endgame Feels heavy-handed. Whether that's by design or unintentional. There is an entire world going up in flames. But a lot of it is happening in between panels, in between issues. All things come to an end, but not every ending is loved by everyone! After two installments, it feels like this is going to be a shaky landing at best. Hopefully, Deniz Camp and company prove me wrong, and Ultimate Endgame lives up to be an instant classic

The classic story of a hero who comprosmised themselves in the process. Along the way, Fury allowed himself to believed he was one of the good guys. Even after his actions continued to say otherwise. In the end, he tried to do the right thing. Very compelling stuff from Deniz Camp.

I appreciated the imagery of the mental battle by Wolverine to escape the prison of his mind and finally regain his true self. Moreover, the message by Chris Condon of friends and comrades helping each other through mental health struggles. Simply put, the Opposition is more than an army of survivors. Instead, is a fraternity of mutants who look out for each other.

Chris Condon had an amazing conclusion to the previous arc. By telling a tragic story involving the citizens, government and the rebellion inside the Republic. Now, in this next arc, not only is he telling the story of the aftermath of a fallen government. But also, the story of those who survived the fall of an entire country and walked away for their individual reasons.

Chris Condon was given an entire region of the world to play with. Along with a set of characters to go with an established narrative. This is still the story of a totalitarian regime and a dictatorship that oppressed, suppressed, and abused its people. But ultimately met its doom by the hand of its own citizens. The last Survivors of the opposition are regarded as Liberators. I commend Chris Condon for writing a tragedy. It goes to show how malleable and flexible characters can be when you allow writers to explore different ideas.

Peach Momoko has been working multiple plots since the very beginning of this series. This review was purposely focused on just Nico's character to showcase her plot alone. However, if we were to follow each plot alone we would see just how rich the whole story really is. While this a character driven series, there's also an entire section of this world being built in the background.

Issue #8 pushes the paste of the story of Hi No Kuni as a whole. Word is finally out, the Children of the Atom and consequently, Mutants' lives are about to change. Therefore, they no longer will live in secrecy. I expect a full-scale explosion of new mutants to crowd the cities and towns of the Land of Fire. Peach Momoko clearly has some criticism for cults and its members/victims. The secret nature of the cult allowed Maester to execute his operation in the shadows.

Ultimate X-Men has laid out for the readers a case study on the behaviors of cult members. For example, there are multiple examples, from the very top of the organization, to the "day-one believers. At this very moment, it's quite a contrast between the characters.

Ryan Parrot continues to escalate the antics of linking by putting the characters in different scenarios. I always thought the premise of linking had an infinite amount of possibilities. For example, every issue could explore new points of view between a proxy and a linker. But I never expected to see proxies at each other's throats. For example, proxies hiring other proxies to do their dirty work for them. Goes to show you never know what's going to happen in the world of Vicarious.

Regardless of my personal expectations on the premise of this world, this is a compelling story. Whether it reached it's full potential for telling many stories or not, this was quite the roller coaster. Following one single leading character we went from Justin, to Anon to Micah in the story of a morally bankrupt individual. In the end I found myself rooting for Micha's success. Although you can make the argument that he was the bad guy fromk the begining. But there's so much going on that you tend to forget whos right and who's wrong. The fact that Ryan Parrot constructed a world where good and evil are irrelevant, goes to show that everyone's story matters.

I am very intrigued and looking forward to learn more. Subscribing to this series!

Theres a lot going on in this story. Plenty of names and plots to follow. However, using Anna as a proxy for the readers experience was a very smart decision by Llovet. We get to experience and learn everything about this world with the character of Anna. Accordingly, this story is currently an exciting messy ball of yarn and Llovets job is to unravel it one issue at a time. It is in my assessment that Llovet is doing a fine job!

This story is an unraveling exercise by Maria Llovet. Through 3 issues we have been exploring a world of mythical creatures that dwell not in tormenting or terrorizing but in self-indulgence.

Maria Llovet created an exiting world filled with mythical creatures that stole our hearts. Vampires from a clan that can be passionate, whimsical and chaotic. Or they can be loving, strict and resentful.

The nuanced conflict between the people or Merle and the X-Men has been enough for me to follow the series. Of course this is not all this series has to offer, there's plenty I refuse to spoil. The X-Men by Jed MacKay has a variety of reasons for everyone to love. The team roster, the new facility, or even Magneto's health issues. Not to mention the team's mission of rescuing "new mutants has taken them all over the country so far. If you are looking to jump into one of the new X titles from Marvel in the post-Krakoa era, X-Men by Jed MacKay is a no brainer.
